The Sherbro and its hinterland . l there is a porous packingsaturated with oil to such an extent that on breakingthe outer skin with the nail the oil will ooze out. As soon as the nuts are out of the cone they arespread on mats and sunned for two days more, whenthey are boiled in water, either in imported three-leggediron cauldrons, or in native earthenware pots. When sufficiently cooked they are placed in a woodenmortar and well pounded with a heavy six-foot pole, tobreak the outer skin and disengage the oil from thefibre. In a few minutes there is a mass of soft pulp, but muchof the fibre is still adhering to the hard-shelled nut. Thewhole mass is turned into a small dug-out canoe containingplenty of hot water. The women then rub the nuts and fibre between theirhands until all the oil has come away and is floating onthe surface. The oil is next re-boiled to get rid of the little water thatmay be with it. During the re-boiling the oil naturally floats to the top, is skimmed off by means of small calabashes and turned. :<i I /, .y, ur/., i, -, (t..I-ig. iS.—XaIIVK WoMKN IvXIKKSSINC IAIM ()ll.

This trade oilis of a dirty yellow colour, owing to the nuts having beenkept for some time before being worked. For their owndomestic purposes the women make from the fibre of thefresh nut an oil of a bright red colour, which they preparewith greater care. The oil having been expressed from the fibre, the nutsthemselves are next dealt with. They are removed fromthe bottom of the dug-out, sunned until completely dry, when the shell is easily cracked by a couple of slight, sharpblows. The kernels are then collected and sold to themercantile firms or to the itinerating traders either for cashor for imported goods in barter. The oil from the kernels is
